Cross-Country Skiing

Outdoor & Sports

The highland of the national park is perfect for cross-country skiing. The total length of skiing trails in the Ounastunturi, Pallastunturi, and Yllästunturi Fell area is around 500 km. Part of the skiing trails are wilderness trails, with the only man-made tracks being those of the park maintenance snowmobiles.

Hiking
